HYPHEN JOURNAL RELEASES CALL FOR PAPERS FOR ISSUE NO. 3: SPOLIA

hyphen, the journal of architecture at Penn State, has announced the Call for Papers for its third issue, SPOLIA. This issue expands the traditional meaning of spolia—the reuse of architectural fragments—to explore how fragments of all kinds circulate across contemporary practice. From digital residues and ecological cycles to cultural translations and representational traces, SPOLIA invites contributors to rethink how ideas, materials, and systems are dismantled and reassembled today.

The editors welcome submissions from across the College of Arts and Architecture and beyond, including:

• Research papers
• Literature reviews
• Interviews
• Photographic or graphic essays
• Experimental drawings and other creative media

Submission Deadline: January 31, 2026
Submission Portal: journals.psu.edu/hyphen

• The full Call for Papers is available online here
• Previous issues of Hyphen can be explored in the journal’s archive

For questions about submissions, please contact the editorial team through hyphen's email address: Hyphen@psu.edu.
